Somehow I missed that Stripe is a YC company. Which batch? (Often goes into titles.)

Do startups who are as hyped as Stripe ever go through the trough of sorrow?

I didn't think they were in one of the batches (haven't seen the usual YC'whatever badging on any of their posts' titles here). Their job post from a while back (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3099362) does list YC as an investor, though.

Edit: Patrick's previous startup, Auctomatic, was in YC W'07 I think. Maybe that has something to do with it.

What a great interview. Thanks for sharing. He comes across extremely well. I would trust him with my company's cash-flow.

In the interview he explains that they did not go through a proper YC batch because "the timing didn't really work out". They had been through the process before and he had got to know pg well. Hope that helps!
